A new funding program, the EMEA Youth & Wellbeing Grant, provides €500,000 to support non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and researchers active in promoting the safety and wellbeing of young people in the EMEA region, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence.

This grant represents a significant opportunity for those working to develop innovative solutions to protect and support young people in a world increasingly influenced by AI. Funded projects may focus on various areas, including AI education, combating disinformation, promoting safe and responsible use of digital technologies, and supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people.
